When you learn or create, associations speed up the process. By associating something known with something new, you fix the idea in your mind. You can take the new idea and associate it with another idea, creating a chain of ideas. Many of the great thinkers of history used association in their work. One most people are familiar with is Leonardo da Vinci. In his work, he created pictures, codes, and lines. These “doodles” created associations between ideas.
Lorsque vous apprenez ou créez, les associations facilitent le processus. En associant quelque chose de connu à quelque chose de nouveau, vous fixez l'idée dans votre esprit. Vous pouvez prendre la nouvelle idée et l'associer à une autre idée, créant ainsi une chaîne d'idées. Beaucoup de grands penseurs de l'histoire ont utilisé l'association dans leur travail. L'un des plus connus est Léonard de Vinci. Dans son travail, il a créé des images, des codes et des lignes. Ces “gribouillis” créaient des associations entre les idées.
Mind maps let you develop associations through their connections between nodes. But connections are not always direct. An idea in one branch could associate with an idea in another branch. Or a portion of a branch is more important than the rest. You could find a group of sibling ideas that lead to another idea by their association. In Freeplane, you can create these connections through clouds, connectors, and summary nodes.
Les cartes heuristiques vous permettent de développer des associations à travers leurs connexions entre les nœuds. Mais les connexions ne sont pas toujours directes. Une idée d'une branche peut être associée à une idée d'une autre branche. Ou une partie d'une branche peut être plus importante que le reste. Vous pourriez trouver un groupe d'idées frères et sœurs qui mènent à une autre idée par leur association. Dans Freeplane, vous pouvez créer ces connexions par le biais de nuages, de connecteurs et de nœuds récapitulatifs.
Clouds Clouds group a node and its children, grandchildren, etc. You can use the cloud to emphasize a certain section of a branch by creating a border around the nodes. The cloud surrounds the node and those attached to it down the branch until it reaches the leaves. The cloud will enclose any nodes added to the cloud's nodes.
Les nuages
Les nuages regroupent un nœud et ses enfants, petits-enfants, etc. Vous pouvez utiliser le nuage pour mettre en valeur une certaine section d'une branche en créant une bordure autour des nœuds. Le nuage entoure le nœud et ceux qui y sont attachés le long de la branche jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne les feuilles. Le nuage enfermera tous les nœuds ajoutés aux nœuds du nuage.
To create a cloud, you select the node where you want the cloud to begin. On the keyboard, you use the keyboard combination CTRL + SHIFT + B. The cloud will surround all the nodes connected to the selected node. You can add a cloud through the menus using Edit > Add/Remove Cloud. The menu item is also available in the right-click context menu. The main toolbar has a Cloud button, too. Repeating the action on the node will remove the cloud. If you select a node inside a cloud, you can create a cloud inside a cloud.
Pour créer un nuage, vous sélectionnez le nœud à l'endroit où vous voulez que le nuage commence. Avec le clavier, vous utilisez la combinaison CTRL + SHIFT + B. Le nuage entourera tous les nœuds connectés au nœud sélectionné. Vous pouvez ajouter un nuage à l'aide du menu Edition > Ajouter un nuage. L'élément de menu est également disponible dans le menu contextuel en cliquant avec le bouton droit de la souris. La barre d'outils principale a aussi un bouton Nuage. Répéter l'action sur le nœud supprimera le nuage. Si vous sélectionnez un nœud à l'intérieur d'un nuage, vous pouvez créer un nuage à l'intérieur d'un nuage.
By default the shape of the cloud is the Arc style, creating the classical idea of a cloud. You have other options for the cloud shape. You can select from Arc, Star, Rectangle, and Rounded rectangle. In your code, the different shapes can have different meanings. Star for something exciting, or rectangle for something serious. To change the shape, use the drop-down list in the Cloud section of the Tool Panel. From the menu, you select Format > Cloud shape.
Par défaut, la forme du nuage est de style Arc, créant l'idée classique d'un nuage. Vous avez d'autres options pour la forme du nuage. Vous pouvez choisir entre Arc, Étoile, Rectangle et Rectangle arrondi. Dans votre code, les différentes formes peuvent avoir des significations différentes. Étoile pour quelque chose d'excitant, ou rectangle pour quelque chose de sérieux. Pour modifier la forme, utilisez la liste déroulante dans la section Nuage du panneau d'outils. Dans le menu, vous sélectionnez Mise en forme > Formes de nuage.
Color is another way to code your maps, and Freeplane lets you change the color of the clouds. The cloud color changes the background and outline color of the cloud. As you have seen in previous articles, you select colors from a color dialog. To open the cloud color dialog, you can click on the color swatch in the Cloud section of the Tool Panel. You can access the cloud color through the menus, too, at Format > Cloud shape > Cloud color. Finally, the main toolbar has an icon for the cloud color. From the color picker dialog, you select the color you want for your cloud background. You click the OK button to accept the color.
La couleur est une autre façon de coder vos cartes, et Freeplane vous permet de changer la couleur des nuages. La couleur du nuage change la couleur de fond et de contour du nuage. Comme vous l'avez vu dans les articles précédents, vous sélectionnez les couleurs dans une boîte de dialogue de couleur. Pour ouvrir la boîte de dialogue de couleur des nuages, vous pouvez cliquer sur l'échantillon de couleur dans la section Nuage du panneau d'outils. Vous pouvez aussi accéder à la couleur du nuage par les menus: Mise en forme > Formes du nuage > Ajouter un nuage ou modifier sa couleur… . Enfin, la barre d'outils principale a une icône pour la couleur du nuage. Dans la boîte de dialogue du sélecteur de couleurs, vous sélectionnez la couleur que vous voulez pour votre fond de nuage. Vous cliquez sur le bouton OK pour accepter la couleur.
Connectors Connectors associate nodes with relationships other than parent-child. Connectors are good for connections between siblings or nodes in different branches. As an example, a group of siblings defining a repeatable process. A connector would allow you to loop the last process back to the first one. The connector can contain text to explain the relationship. Arrows can show the direction of the connection. You can edit the line style, color, and thickness to match your coding system.
Les connecteurs
The easiest way to create a node is to right-click on the start node and drag to the end node. By default, an arrow points toward the end node. You can change this, but it's worth thinking about before you create the connector. You can also select the start node and hold down SHIFT + CTRL while you drag with the left mouse button to the end node. Finally, you can select the start and end nodes, right-click, and select Connect from the menu. With two nodes selected, you can use the CTRL + L combination to connect the nodes.
You can connect many nodes at once. Select the nodes you want to connect. The last node selected becomes the focus node. All the other nodes will point to the focus node. With the nodes selected, you right-click and select Connect from the menu. You can use the CTRL + L combination, too. All the selected nodes will connect to the focus node (last selected).
You can edit a connector by right-clicking it. A Connector dialog will open. The dialog lets you change the style, color, shape, thickness, and opacity of the connector. You can add text to the connect to define the reason for the connection.
The two Goto buttons let you select which node is active. You can switch between the two nodes at the connectors endpoints. The Remove Connector button removes the connector and closes the connector dialog.
Use the Opacity slider to increase or decrease the visibility of the connector. Move the slider to the left to decrease the visibility, and move it to the right to increase the visibility. By default, the slider is 75% to the right.
The Connector arrow drop-down list lets you select the arrows on the connector. You select None to create a relationship without direction. Draw arrow forward points the arrow at the endpoint. To point the arrow at the start point, you select Draw arrow back. You show a back and forth relationship by selecting Draw arrow forward and back. One of the ways I have used the arrows is when creating a repeating process. The process is outlined as a series of sibling nodes, then the last sibling points back to the first sibling. Using this method, I create a looping or repeating process.
By default, the connector is drawn as a looping curve. The Connector shape drop-down list changes the shape. You select line to create a straight point-to-point line. Linear path draws a line with sharp corners. Finally, you can Simulate edge. This choice will create a line that simulates the edge of the endpoint.
The Connector line drop-down list sets the type of line. As always, you have a choice between solid, long dash, short dash, dot, and dot-dash. The line types can become a part of your code. A dotted line can show two nodes that are similar but have no direct relationship. But a solid line can show a direct relationship, such as a node that is a child of two different nodes. The Width spinner box sets the width of the line. The width is a scale value rather than a unit measurement.
The font setting controls the font and size of the text used on the connector. The Font drop-down list selects the font from the fonts installed on your PC. The Font size spinner box sets the size in points. With the font set, the connector has three label positions. The top text box is for the Source label. The source label is the start node of the connector. The Middle label places text in the middle of the connector. To place a label at the endpoint node, enter your text in the Target label text box. If you use the source and target label, you need to set the connector to show in front of the nodes. The setting is in the preferences, Tools > Preferences. Click on the Appearance tab. In the Connectors section, you uncheck the box for Paint connectors behind nodes.
Click the OK button to close the Connector dialog. When you left-click the connector, you see two adjustment handles. You drag the handles to adjust the shape and location of the connector. Moving the handles moves the location of the arrows and labels. This is another method to prevent the label and node’s core from blocking each other.
Summary Nodes What do you do when you need a node that pertains to several sibling nodes? For example, say you have a list of fruits and vegetables as siblings to a node. You would like to label which ones are fruits and which ones are vegetables. You could create a child node for each of the nodes stating its food category. But this seems redundant and time-consuming.
Enter the summary node. A summary node groups together a series of sibling nodes using a curly bracket. The summary node allows you to group your fruits and vegetables using one node for each group. To create a summary node, select the series of sibling nodes. With the nodes selected, press the keyboard combination SHIFT + ALT + INSERT. The summary node created looks like any node except its edge is a curly bracket. Enter the text of the node and press ENTER. You can press ENTER again to create a sibling of the node, or you can press INSERT to create a child node. From the summary node, your map can continue as you would with any other node.
There are a couple of alternate methods for creating summary nodes. After selecting the node series, you can right-click and choose New summary node. From the menus, Edit > New Node > New summary node creates a summary node of the selected sibling nodes.
When you create and learn, associations allow you to build on previous knowledge. While the parent-child relationship handles most associations, sometimes you need to create others. Freeplane gives you the tools you need to create those associations. With the cloud, you can encompass a group of nodes, creating a section set off from the others. You can use connectors to associate two nodes that are not parent-child. Finally, summary nodes allow you to group sibling nodes together.
